Very good guide to the post millenial position.
The Author takes you through the views of the early church on the last things, also covering the pertinent texts in the old and new testament. Mathison handles the objections the other positions have to this position as well as the problems he finds with the other postions. He also addresses theological and practical Objections to the P.M. position.
In the last part of the book he deals with the full preterist position of which lands far from othodo...more

Fairly good defense of postmillennialism. Keith (since we've emailed back and forth quite a few times over the years, and on more issues that eschatology, I can call him that!) defends the more modern postmillennialism of a Bahnsen or a Gentry, not that of some of the puritans or Old Princeton (though he would agree with some of their exegesis on certain passages). This means that Jesus will return after the millennium (hence the "post"), and this millennium will be characterized by tremendous s...more
This is the best exposition of postmillennialism I've found. After Douglas Wilson's Heaven Misplaced has whet the appetite as to the beauty and goodness of postmillennialism, I would follow up with this book to persuade an educated layman or seminary student of the truth of the biblical hope that the gospel of Jesus Christ will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea before His return in glory.
An excellent introduction. Definitely changed some of my preconceived ideas about what postmillennialists believe. Thought provoking and worth reading no matter where you stand on eschatology.
Great book! It poses the basis of postmillenialism as: faith in the promises of God that the kingdom will grow until its final consummation. It is not based on the works of man and is not contingent upon the current realities of society or the headlines of the local newspaper, but solely on the promises of God, guaranteed by Christ's resurrection and brought to fruition by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Definitely worth reading.
Definitely worth reading.
Very basic introduction to Postmillenialism and while I am more in the Historist camp than the Partial-Preterist camp this book is an excellent exegetical introduction to the position.
Great introduction to post-millenial eschatology. I appreciated the exegetical studies in support of post-millenialism throughout the Bible, proceeding from Genesis to Revelation.
Not convincing. Typically drew large conclusions from small bits of "evidence". Good intro to Preterism which was new to me.
For me, the effect of this book was to finally understand my own thoughts.
A pretty complete explanation and defense of postmillennialism. I've heard postmillennialism taught as a part of other subjects, i.e. covenant theology, theonomy, history, etc..., but this was the first time I've read a fairly comprehensive teaching of postmillennialism. It's not a large book (248 pages), but it covers the subject historically, biblically, theologically, and responds to common objections. I guess I wish Mathison would have expanded on the land promise a little more, especially w...more
I agree with most of what's in this book, but I'm not sure if I agree with enough of it to make me a Postmillennialist. The research continues.
Good introduction. Slightly pop.
Quite good.
Excelente!
A basic and helpful introduction to Postmil. Eschatology.
There is much more to this book than the cover design suggests. In this small but detailed study, Mathison clearly demonstrates the Bible's hopeful view of the end times. Perfect introductory book for those unfamiliar with postmillenialism. This book changed the way I view everything.
Excellent book, Postmillenial thought broken down and shown throughout the Bible. Very good intro into the subject and very convincing.
Good introduction to the topic. A great guide to the biblical evidence of a postmillennial eschatology.
I am realatively new to the subject of escahtalogy, so it is difficult for me to make a discerned review of the book, because of my lack of literacy on the subject. I agree with much of what Mathison has to say but am still undecided on other aspects of his views. Altogether, it was good read.

marked it as to-read
Good cursory book on the subject. Shelving it for now and returning to study of worship for a bit.
A great book introducing and optimistic eschatology. Anything by Mathison is worth getting
I have read twice
Compelling.
